I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jan 2015
Interview
Got contacted by a recruiter through Linkedin. Told him I'm not currently looking for a job, but since Facebook seems like a great opportunity, I'll interview. The interview had a rather easy question, but I had a problem quickly writing code on the whiteboard - something that I've hard ever done in my programming career. Nor do I have a lot of interview experience in the US. Which I did warn them about. Still got a reply later saying I failed because of "coding performance". Whatever that means. As if they are looking for professional interviewees rather that computer programmers. Whole process felt like a waste of time.

Question 1
Some trivial question on breadth-first graph traversal.
Overall, the process took a little over two weeks, which felt a bit longer than I anticipated. After a quick screening, I went through two technical rounds focusing on coding and DSA concepts. One of the questions was a classic palindrome check; mid-way through, I realized it was something I had practiced on PracHub just days earlier. The final step was a casual behavioral interview. I was relieved to get an offer shortly after, which I happily accepted.
